Stayed here because I didn't want to pay ridiculous high rates in Monterey so ended up here close to where I needed to be which was Laguna seca racetrack. Donavan at the front desk was a delightful young fella. Quick check in process room was basic and clean had a flat screen tv which was nice. Overall budget motel with...

My fiance and I stayed at this establishment over the weekend and we are always skeptical when it comes to motels but we enjoyed our stay. Staff was friendly, rooms were refreshed. Breakfast could have been better but it was decent for the price we paid. Good location right off the 101, would stay here again. Donavan at the front...

I stayed here for two nights during the pro-am weekend and it was great. I slept well. The staff & management were very friendly, helpful and they accommodated me right away since lots of places were booked up quickly. There is lots of parking so that was good and right next to my room..I will def recommend this place to...

I was driving along side highway 101 and decided to stop by here and I must say, it was a great stay! Staff was really nice and accommodating. My room was fully remodeled. Breakfast was okay, but overall it was nice.

I recently stayed at the 5 motel during my trip to Pebble Beach for the concours d elegance.
I was driven to the "5" by the price and proximity to destination areas. The hotel room was priced quite high but was the most affordable in the area during car week. I was driven to stay in Salinas due to the...

Was sent here after my hotel in Seaside overbooked. At first I was incredibly angry with the hotel which sent me all the way to Salinas at what appeared to be a lower end motel.
Upon arrival my mindset changed. The hotel was newly painted and nicely maintained. The front desk staff was incredibly friendly and very accommodating. We were...

Best 5 is a standard no-frills , quant hotel. Rooms were clean and charming.
The management was friendly and helpful in providing information about the area. The desk clerks were also pleasant to deal with.
It was right off the 101 and close to gas and food. The proximity to Laguna seca was the main reason I stayed. It's probably...

We stopped at this motel after traveling for 14 hours and were plain tired. Wished we could have mustered up a little more energy to look into another hotel. This place is dirty and not in the best part of town. The big tip off should have been the bullet proof glass between me and the hotel clerk upon check-in....
